Effects of high-resolution esophageal manometry on oxygen saturation and hemodynamic function

2016

The effect of high-resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) on oxygen saturation (SaO2) and hemodynamic function has not been previously evaluated. This was a prospective study of consecutive patients referred for HRM. Demographic and clinical data were collected on all patients. The study variables included SaO2, heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP). SaO2 and HR were measured at baseline, during intubation, during and 5 min after HRM. BP was measured at baseline, during and after HRM. 158 (56% women) patients with a mean age of 56 (SD 15) years were included. Thirty-five (22%) were obese and 55 (35%) were overweight. Eighteen (12%) patients had a history of respiratory disease and 27 (17%)…

Predilation, sizing and post-dilation scoring in patients undergoing everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold implantation for prediction of cardiac…

2017

Aims: The aim of the study was to develop a scoring model to evaluate the quality of bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) implantation and determine the model's usefulness in predicting adverse cardiac events. Methods and results: The implantation technique and clinical outcomes of 1,736 lesions treated with BVS were analysed using the GHOST-EU registry. Predilation, scaffold sizing, and post-dilation (PSP) were scored according to the hazard model derived from the weight of these variables. The primary end-point was a one-year device-oriented composite endpoint (DoCE) composed of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, and clinically driven target lesion revascularisation.

Predictors of early scaffold thrombosis: results from the multicenter prospective German-Austrian ABSORB RegIstRy.

2018

BACKGROUND In randomized clinical trials, the risk of thrombotic events with the absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) was significantly higher than with metallic drug-eluting stents. We evaluated predictors of scaffold thrombosis in the large-scale, multicenter German-Austrian ABSORB RegIstRy. METHODS AND RESULTS 3178 patients with treatment of 4252 lesions using 5020 scaffolds were included. Follow-up rate at 6 months was 97.4%. Forty-five (1.42%) patients experienced definite/probable scaffold thrombosis during follow-up. Multiple regression analysis showed implantation of absorb BVS in bifurcation lesions [odds ratio (OR): 4.43; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.69-11.59; P=0.0024]…

Everolimus eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffolds in patients with acute coronary syndromes: Two‐year results from the German‐Austrian ABSORB regis…

2021

Abstract Objectives To identify potential differences in 2‐year outcome between patients who underwent coronary revascularization using bioresorbable vascular scafffolds (BVS) in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Background Data from randomized trials suggest a significantly higher event rate following coronary revascularization using everolimus‐eluting BVS as compared to new generation drug eluting stents. Whether particular patient subgroups are at increased risk for scaffold thrombosis and target lesion failure (TLF) has not clearly been demonstrated. Methods German‐Austrian ABSORB RegIstRy is a prospective all‐comer multi‐center observational study…

Effect of an oral supplementation with a formula containing R-lipoic acid in glaucoma patients

2020

Abstract Objective To analyse the safety and effectiveness of the oral administration of a commercialised supplement containing R-alpha lipoic acid (ALA), taurine, vitamins C and E, lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc, copper and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), and in control subjects. Material and methods A prospective study of cases and controls was carried out, including 30 participants of both genders that were divided into: POAG Group (n = 15) and a control group (CG; n = 15), assigned to the oral intake of NuaDHA preparations Vision® (1 pill/day) + NuaDHA 1000 (2 pills/day) for 6 months. Participants were interviewed, ophthalmologically examined, …

Comparison of Interactive Teaching in Online and Offline Platforms among Dental Undergraduates

2022

In recent years, the educational system has focused more on the holistic development of an individual. Modern technology has changed the educational environment to provide students with better academic opportunities. Along with the education system, teaching techniques and learning tools have also changed with digital evolution. This research was undertaken to assess the academic performance of interactive teaching methods in offline and online platforms in Periodontics among BDS undergraduates at a dental college in India. This prospective study was conducted among 49 students: Group I (n = 24, online class through Zoom) and Group II (n = 25, offline classes). The subject was divided into …

Prospective study of population aging in Verviers District (wallonia, belgium).

2013

Aging population has become an important issue and challenge in most Western Europe countries. This substantive change is likely to deeply affect the structure and the way our societies work (European commission, 2012a). Furthermore, aging population and its consequences are now a sensitive topic in policy at both European and national levels, especially concerning budget discussions and the increased societal costs linked to the phenomenon (European commission, 2012b). However, at more local scales, the topic is not fully integrated in urban or regional policies yet. This situation can be seen as a paradox since local collectivities will have to concretely deal with the impacts and the gro…

Epistemic and didactic values of the demonstrative process in different cultures: a case study in Geometry with Chinese and Italian students

2011

This paper presents same key findings of the research project conducted by G.R.I.M. of Palermo on the approaches to justification and proof in Geometry by investigating how Chinese and Italian teachers and students taught particular geometrical topics refereed to different epistemic and didactic values related to own culture. It was found that Chinese teachers and students emphasized justification of the proof by a stressed visual verification based on some metarules linked with the structure of their own written language and defined as historical Chinese modus operandi in the Jiuzhang Suanshu. The Italians paid close attention to mathematical proof by a hypoxemic deductive system defined on the Euclide’ Elements. The geometrical problem discussed on the paper was defined and presented as “one problem multiple solution problems” and “one problem multiple changes”. Important aspect of the case study discussed in the paper focus on the mediation of knowledge between Chinese and Italian students involved in multicultural class. According to us these kind of activities can establish possibilities for the students to confront their self with different cultural social and educational prospective of knowledge discovering the power of mathematics as tool of negotiation in multicultural class?Settore MAT/04 - Matematiche Complementari

Prenatal sonographic chest and lung measurements for predicting severe pulmonary hypoplasia.

1999

Pulmonary hypoplasia was diagnosed sonographically in 32 fetuses from 20 to 33 weeks of gestation. In addition to standard biometry, transverse thoracic diameter (TTD), sagittal thoracic diameter (TSD), thoracic circumference (TC) and lung diameter (LD) were measured in all cases and compared with known nomograms. The fetuses were divided into five groups according to the main sonographic findings: group 1—skeletal dysplasia; group 2—renal agenesis; group 3—diaphragmatic hernia; group 4—hydrothorax; and group 5—others. Severe pulmonary hypoplasia (PH) was diagnosed prenatally in all cases on the basis of LD measurements. In 17 (53.1 per cent) out of 32 cases TTD was below the 5th percentile…
